Gas auger vs Cordless drill comparison

[El_Matador]

looking at the specs it says 560 ft lbs of torque

That's about what my Duramax has.

Ok, but seriously...maybe a dumb question but did you have the drill in low gear? I have beat the crap out of my LI Makita doing construction and it is about as bullet proof as they come. Maybe you got a lemon, who knows.
